Last season left us with a yearning, a hunger — not unlike sitting through a baseball game cold sober with an empty stomach.

Well, for the season opener on April 5 the Padres take on the guys who nabbed our 2010 playoff spot. And if you’re headed to that afternoon game against the San Francisco Giants, consider filling up on vim and vigor — and food and drink — at these East Village spots near the ballpark.

THE ROSTER

Ballpark food note:

You can bring unopened food to Petco for a little al fresco dining (in the general seating and picnic areas only).

East Village Block Party on Opening Day

Get into the Giant-killing spirit when the East Village neighborhood hosts a free block party to celebrate its most famous neighbors, the Padres. Featuring food from BigDev’s Barbeque, Frosted Robin Cupcakes and others, as well as live bands, a Stone Brewing Beer Garden, and community groups. The Padres home opener is against the World Series Championship winning San Francisco squad.

Customers at this two-story bar are like the perfect bag of mixed nuts: families, guy groups, couples. But beware Corner’s Three Pound Burger Challenge: a six patty, egg-and-chili burger that’s your for free if eaten in under an hour. You’re useless to the Friars if you’re in a food coma. Happy hour daily, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Ballpark booze note:

The ballpark only serves alcohol till the end of the seventh inning. So don’t get belligerent at the concession stand come the eighth. Remember these places!

An Italian-influenced wine bar that lets you exert some independence — get your glass over to one of the self-dispensing Enomatic machines. Get your antipastis and thin-crusted pizzas here, too. Wine and beer only. Sunday is an all day happy hours. Weekday happy hours 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The boutique hotel’s bar is a ninth-floor terrace with fire pits and a bird-in-the-sky view of Petco. Oh, and there’s a grassy air known as Petco Park Grass — lawn actually imported from the ballpark — because Hotel Indigo is pet friendly. The bar is also buddy-buddy with Table 509 Bar and Kitchen downstairs, so you can order appetizers, pizzas and scallops off the restaurant’s menu.
